Ferndale Record Time will be closed by the end of this month, sadly.
Check out Rick Wilhite's Vibes New & Rare Music shop - don't know what the hours will be that weekend.
Madison Heights Nature Center - if you need to take a walk in the woods in the middle of urban sprawl. Maybe a bit of a drive from Harts Plaza, but its really a nice spot. In the short time that I have lived here, I've come to love it.
And second the Soul Skate - that was great last year! Denise -- Denise MM Dalphond Department of Folklore & Ethnomusicology Indiana University [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.denisedjsdetroit.blogspot.com/ Quoting kent williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Heidelberg Project -- a great DIY folk art surreal outdoor junk sculpture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidelberg_Project Fisher Building -- The Tower Peanuts Built. The lobby is like a secular art deco temple to capitalism. A peak Detroit experience was visiting Bill Van Loo's office, and going out onto a little balustrade many stories up. I was scared to death, and it was irresistable... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_Building A ride along the River Rouge on Jefferson -- start about at East Grand on Woodward and promenade west past the RenCen and out to River Rouge (the town) or Ecorse... a depopulated urban wasteland west of downtown. Melodies and Memories -- Submerge is a great place to shop for techno, but Melodies and Memories has a ton of stuff all over the stylistic map. Record Time -- My favorite store was in Hamtramck because it's on a nice little High Street, but I think it's closed, and only the Ferndale and Roseville stores remain. Oh, and Google Street view has photographed much of Detroit!
